wildfires through an ambitious project now underway creating fuel break buffers across 38 miles of fire roads near mount tam. here's what one section looked like before and after the clearing of brush when we have our inevitable wildfire here in will give our firefighters the greatest chance to be successful in its suppression. the chief believes climate change is moving the timeline on wildfire season, the climate that we've that has been affecting us over the last five to ten years has shown us this inherent pattern of earlier starts and later later. the moran wildfire protection authority is funding the fuelbreak project, you know, some fire departments are already tweeting asking homeowners to clear defensible space around their properties. it's hard to believe. it's only march. it's san rafael cornell bernard abc 7 news. all right, francis wood. cornell said is really spot-on cannot believe that it is spring and the weather that we're having so strange. yeah, we've had some very cold

weather temperatures were much cooler committed yesterday and then things are gonna really bounce back, but we're starting off with clear skies this evening and that's going to allow things to really cool down overnight. here's a look at live doppler 7 the satellite radar image. all the rain has moved out and most areas only got a few hundreds of an inch today. here's a live look in san jose temperatures are going to cool down pretty quickly right now most one in the low 50 san francisco 51 oakland 53, san jose 52 degrees and then from emeryville we can see clear across the bay there towards san francisco dropping into the 40s for some locations like santa rosa 48 napa down to 46 concord still hanging on to 51 and livermore at 49 degrees. here's a look at the forecast animation starting at midnight into tomorrow. we won't see any of that fog and we're going to see a strong northwest breeze and that's going to help clear the cloud. so plenty of sunshine for everybody but what that means is overnight. we lose a lot of heat without the cloud. so temperatures are really going to drop into the mid 30s for some areas in the north bay like

lakeport 34. santa rosa 34 and then around the bay look for low to mid 40 san francisco 45, san jose 43 some upper 30s through parts of the inland east bay areas like concord and also livermore if we go farther north, there is a hard freeze and freeze warning from midnight until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. so the areas of blue this is the hard freeze or temperatures may drop into the mid-20s and then the purple areas is a freeze warning where we could see temperatures into the low 30s over. night through tomorrow morning, so definitely bundle up if you're heading out early, but then the sunshine moves in and temperatures will be warming up starting tomorrow. so look for 60s around the bay will be very windy at the beaches. so that's why half moon bay only at 56 san francisco 61, oakland 65, san jose 67 and near 70 in santa rosa at 69 low 70s in fairfield. so the heat trend starts tomorrow andwind gusts are goins

cool there tomorrow. so not quite too warm. but at the beaches this is where we'll see the strong northwest flow and that's going to keep temperatures cool anywhere from 20 to 30 miles an hour will be in other areas around the bay. here's a look at the week ahead. for example in the south bay. our average high is 66. so tomorrow we're close to average warmer and then monday even warmer will be about 16 15 degrees warmer than average on tuesday, which is when we could see some record-breaking highs tuesday possibly even to wednesday and then we start to cool down a little bit but above average through the end of the week and it is looking dry for the of the week, so that's why you can put the umbrellas away. so tomorrow is the officials start of spring. it's going to be very chilly in the morning breezy in the afternoon that spring warmth kicks in plenty of sunshine through the middle of the week with mid 80s expected for inland areas also could be a great day to head to the beach at the

coast will be near 70 on tuesday will still keep an eye on those records when to into wednesday and then the cooling starts partly cloudy friday a little bit cloudier into next weekend so far. and then we're hoping for some more chances of rain next week the beach sounds like a really good idea. yes, it would be nice francis. thanks. well, just a headache colorful start to the spring season today at a festival in the south bay. i'll care coalition, where are we on alaska airlines? we found that people are raving about their customer care. i mean, take a look at this! wow!
